Abstract (en)
The object is to simplify the construction of a chassis that serves as a mounting base for the principal components of a disk drive and improve the dimensional accuracy and form accuracy of the chassis for the improvement of the productivity in the work of assembling the disk drive. The disk drive is provided with a recording and reproducing unit for recording or reproducing information on a minidisk encased in a disk cartridge, a holder for holding the disk cartridge, a loading unit capable of transferring the disk cartridge between a mounting and dismounting position where the disk cartridge can be mounted on or dismounted from the holder and a recording and reproducing position of the recording and reproducing unit, drive mechanisms capable of driving the loading unit and a flat-plate-shaped chassis that serves as a mounting base for these principal components. The chassis is set to a specified thickness, and its base portion is formed flat throughout its entire surface except for a hole portion and/or a cut portion. <IMAGE>
